The syndicated show, which received an early second-season renewal, will now be broadcast for at least two more years in more than 65 percent of the country.

"Steve is one of the best entertainers in the country and his first season has been a tremendous success because of the personal connection he makes with the daytime audience," Ted Harbert, Chairman of NBC Broadcasting, said. "It's so great to see Steve's very funny and substantive show being rewarded with long-term commitments from our station partners."
